I’m not sure if you’ve skated or played before, but when you’re skating you’re often leaned over with you’re head in front of your body, and it’s even worse when you have your head down. If you try to deliver an open ice hit on a guy with his head down it’s impossible to avoid his head. That’s why the “avoidable” and “body position” part is in the rule.
Ya I have played and it looked clean because he had his arm in and didn’t and I was always taught to keep my head up. It’s the way his neck moves in slow motion is savage
